ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In today’s episode, OWC RADiO host Cirina Catania, talks to Slovenian journalist and film critic Damijan Vinter, who gives us his take on this year’s Berlin International Film Festival (the Berlinale). Here are his must-see movies and his impressions of this year’s films in competition.

Celebrating its 70th year, the Berlin International Film Festival has once again confirmed its status as one of the world’s leading film festivals: 342 festival films, 330,000 sold tickets, and 22,000 industry professionals from 133 countries.

Damijan Vinter shares his impressions of the best feature films, including the winner of the Golden Bear, “There Is No Evil,” a drama from the Iranian director Mohammad Rasoulof centering on true stories of the people behind the scenes who carry out executions in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Rasoulof, has had many run-ins with the Iranian government since 2010, and was banned from filmmaking. He has now been sentenced to one-year in prison due to films which the Iranian authorities found to be “propaganda against the system.” As of this writing, Rasoulof is refusing to turn himself in. An appeal is planned.

If you missed this year’s Berlinale, or just want to learn more about the films that were in competition in 2020, listen in to Damijan’s recommendations and insights.
